Edelkrone SliderOne Pro V2 and HeadPlus 2

- Rohinton Mehta

An app-based motorised slider for perfect motion videos

Edelkrone is a respected name in video circles. Based in Turkey, they manufactur­e some of the best known accessorie­s for creative video.

The SliderOne Pro V2 is a motorised slider rail that allows smooth horizontal movement of the camera without any jerky motion. The rail is either placed on a lat surface or attached to a tripod.

The HeadPlus module attaches to the SliderOne Pro V2 and permits pan and tilt movement of the camera. The HeadPlus module can also be used independen­tly on a tripod. The combinatio­n of the SliderOne Pro V2 and the HeadPlus allows 3-axis movement – pan, tilt and sliding motion – all controlled together through the Edelkrone app. The app is available for Android as well as iOS. The slider’s payload capacity is 13.6 kg for horizontal slide movement and 4.5 kg for a vertical movement. This allows the user the lexibility to use it with almost any profession­al D-SLR or Mirrorless camera available in the market. Considerin­g the heavy payload and the small size of the products, the combinatio­n is well- balanced and handles the load very well.

Both the units work on Canon LP-E6 batteries (one unit for the Slider and two units for the HeadPlus module). Both – the Slider and the Head – can be powered though a DC adapter. The motorised slider and head mitigates chances of human error while ilming and helps create the same camera movement multiple times, with exactly the same accuracy in terms of speed and movement. It opens up possibilit­ies for several creative shots in a small set-up.

The Edelkrone SliderOne PRO V2 along with HeadPlus module is a compact solution for motion videos, stop motion and creative time lapses. The SliderOne Pro V2 weighs only 1.5 kg and the HeadPlus module, 2.8 kg. Website: www.ecreativei­ndia.com/ brand/edelkrone Facebook: edelkrone India Contact person: Saptarshi Guria (022-50612700)
